Newbie: Pork Belly Recipes

[amiriliano]

Yo! from Philly, PA:
Just started on a pellet smoker and wondering if folks would mind sharing some favorite pork belly recipes.

Thanks, everyone!

Mine is dead simple, but works every time. I remove the skin (personal preference), then dry brine, apply a pork rub, and then smoke at 225° F (roughly) until done (203° F internal, or probe tender, whichever comes first). When there's 1 hour left I drizzle liberal amounts of golden syrup all over the pork belly.

That was a very shorthand description, let me know if I should elaborate.

Henrik. Thanks. And Thanks for the hellos as well. One question: what exactly is "golden syrup"? Thanks!

[Henrik]

I thought that was the English name, but maple syrup works just as well.

At least in Canada golden syrup is corn syrup.
